River Nene is right up Carl's street

It’s been a long time coming and it will take a while to show anglers around the area and indeed the country that Peterborough & District AA are prepared to run matches on the venue.

But I’m sure once the word gets out, there will still be more than enough fishermen that enjoy fishing natural venues to fill the matches up.

At times they will clash with other events, but persistence will pay off.

Street is also going to be running matches on Ferry Meadows, a proven bream water, and as if that’s not enough he is also heavily into predator fishing.

So expect to see pike matches taking place too.
